“This is my ultimate ‘your lips, but better’ essential. It’s sheer, shimmery and incredibly lightweight, so a single swipe is enough to make me feel instantly put-together. I especially love how nourishing it feels—packed with vitamins and antioxidants, it leaves my lips feeling soft and hydrated. Needless to say, this one is going straight into my cart.” Purva Indulkar, Editorial

“This melt-into-skin body butter feels like a little act of self-care. It’s deliciously scented, deeply hydrating and leaves my skin feeling incredibly soft. My weekdays are usually chaotic, so I reach for this when I want to slow down, relax and properly unwind—which, admittedly, is at least once a week. I like to layer it over post-shower skin and finish with an all-over lymphatic drainage massage.” Varalika S, Design

PDRN has been showing up everywhere in skincare lately, and Akind brings the ingredient into a moisturiser designed to support the skin barrier. The formula is made for skin that’s feeling dry, tight or sensitive, with a rich texture that still feels comfortable enough for everyday use. It gives you the satisfying, properly moisturised feeling without leaving behind a heavy layer, and you can easily wear SPF over it during the day. It’s a great option when your regular moisturiser simply isn’t cutting it.

“I loved the original On Cloud Nine moisturiser, but I think I love this one even more. The texture is lighter, it sinks in quickly and layers effortlessly under makeup. What really makes it stand out for me, though, is the formula. I’m quite cautious about introducing new products into my routine, so the fact that it’s derm-tested, fragrance-free and non-comedogenic gives me that extra bit of reassurance. Sensitive-skin girlies, this one is worth trying.” Pragati Namdev, Studio

“I’m obsessed with how this tool gives volume to my hair without frying the ends. Also, the jade green case makes me feel like I actually have my life together when I pack for a wedding weekend.” — Pratibha, Partner Marketing

This styling tool combines drying and smoothing in a single step. It adds volume at the roots while polishing the lengths, helping achieve a soft, styled finish at home. The included storage and travel case makes it practical for both everyday use and weekends away.

“I love the idea of a big, bouncy blowout. Actually having to spend time doing my hair in the morning? Not so much. This blow brush makes the whole process considerably easier. I can work through damp hair without juggling a dryer and round brush, while still getting that smooth, lifted, freshly blow-dried finish. It’s become my shortcut to looking like I made an effort, even when I really didn’t. Now you know.” Shivani Bokka, Site Ops

For those who love a juicy lip but can’t stand anything sticky, Rom&nd’s Glasting Melting Balm in Sorbet Balm is basically a dream come true. It glides on like warm butter, wears like a lightweight gloss and leaves behind a soft sorbet-pink tint that instantly brightens your face. No wonder K-beauty fans collect these like they’re limited-edition trading cards.

“I’ve always been more drawn to a softly blurred, lived-in lip than an overly defined finish, and this balm gives me exactly that. It adds just the right hint of colour with a glossy finish, making it one of my favourite no-makeup makeup essentials. It’s quickly become one of those products I instinctively throw into my bag before heading out.” Riya Bhandari, Social Media

“My skin gets red really easily and I’ve tried a lot of creams that promise to calm it down but don’t. This one actually does. The 345 refers to three key calming ingredients and after about a week the redness around my nose was genuinely less. It feels rich but it absorbs properly. My skin just feels more settled.”

“My skin has its moments, and when it does, I know better than to throw five new products at it. I prefer to keep things simple and reach for this cream instead. It has a comforting, cushiony texture that gives my skin the hydration it needs without feeling heavy or greasy. I especially reach for it when my barrier feels a little off and my skin is feeling dry, sensitive or inflamed.” Gazal Jain, Studio

“This is one of the few cleansers that leaves my skin feeling properly clean without that tight, stripped feeling afterwards. The gel texture is incredibly refreshing, while the hydrating formula leaves my skin feeling soft and comfortable once I’ve rinsed it off. I reach for it every morning and night, and honestly, I don’t see that changing anytime soon.” Rhea Tripathi, Site Ops
